A rousing rendition of Les Miserables led off, then Lord of the Dance, Hallelujah, Music of the Beatles and Greek Folk Song Suite #1. Intermission followed, with tasty goodies, tea and coffee. The second half of the performance included Blues Brothers Revue, Caravan, Genius of Ray Charles, Hawaii Five-o and the evening concluded with a bluesy St. Thomas. As always, the audience were treated to a very enjoyable evening.

IPC NorAm event this week at KAR C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The 2015 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships are taking place at Panorama next week. Kimberley had put in a bid to host the World Championships when it was announced they would be in Canada, but was not successful. However, Kimberley is hosting the tune-up event, the NorAm Cup, this week, starting with the downhill on the
Dreadnaught on Wednesday. Downhill and super-combined training began Monday. The super-combined race is scheduled for Thursday. Approximately 50 skiers from Canada, the U.S., Russia, Slovenia, Australia, Spain and Great Britain are here for the races this week. Donna Briggs, one of the event organizers, says the track is in great shape with the recent snow and return to colder temperatures.
“Training is going well. For a downhill you need a hard track and the temperatures below zero at night is really helping with that,” she said. “This is ideal weather for racing, especially for speed events. “There are lots of people here who have never been to Kimberley before and they are really enjoying it. Everyone is having a really good time.
